In the blink of an eye, it has been eight or nine days since Ziyu entered the palace. I don't know if my words that day played a role, or if Ziyu had another premeditated plan, Ziyu since entering the palace has been very gentle with Qi Yan.

Emperor Qi Yan's mood also improved, and the frequency of coming and going to Jingtai Palace also increased.

"The queen is pregnant, so come and see, it should be."

When I found a reason to persuade Qi Yan not to come to Jingtai Palace so often, Qi Yan would always talk about my pregnancy.

"This time, the lonely medical officer was brought to check the queen's pulse, but he had to take care of his body."

Qi Yan smiled slightly, and motioned to Huang Fuyong, the medical officer standing on the side, to step forward to check my pulse. Huang Fu Yong saluted me, and came to me with the piece of red silk, and I naturally stretched out my arm.

I leaned on the bed, and when I looked up, I met Qi Yan's gentle gaze, and there was a little happiness hidden in that gaze, but the cause of this little happiness was not me, nor the child in my womb, but the new Ziyu, Mrs. Zi.

"Speaking of which, Ziyu should have been in the palace for a while." I was the first to provoke the conversation, "I haven't seen her much yet, and I don't know if she's used to living in the palace." ”

"The queen is pregnant, so it's really inconvenient for them to come over and disturb her, so Ziyu didn't come over to say goodbye." Qi Yan began to find excuses for Ziyu, "Ziyu originally said that she was going to come, but she was afraid that the Queen Mother would find out that you were too close, so she ......"

"Your Majesty doesn't need to say much, the concubine understands."

Huangfu Yong just took the pulse, saluted and got up, and then withdrew the red silk.

"How?"

"Back to Your Majesty, the queen's veins are like pearls and jade, everything is normal."

Hearing the medical officer Huang Fu Yong use the word "pearl round and jade" to describe my pulse, I felt a little funny. When Emperor Qi Yan heard that everything was normal, he happily sent the medical officer and told me to recuperate, and he still found a suitable person to deal with the affairs of the harem.

"But Qi Yue?" I asked with a smile.

When Qi Yan heard me say his answer, he couldn't help but sigh and said, "The queen is so smart, that's right, Gu chose Qi Yue, and she also accepted it." ”

"Although Qi Yue has this talent, his rank is a bit low, His Majesty should be looking for a suitable person to help."

"Well, it's just that Ziyu has just entered the palace, and she has a too close relationship with the queen, and her identity is not easy to ......" Qi Yan almost told the secret of Ziyu's identity, "Fortunately, there are not many chores in the harem, and now it is quite peaceful, so Qi Yue can still bear it." ”

"Your Majesty, why don't you use Mrs. Pei?" I suggested on the side: "Although Mrs. Pei is a little willful, she is still very deterrent in the harem. ”

"Pei Lin?!" Qi Yan looked at me in disbelief, "The queen actually wants to recommend Pei Lin, aren't you afraid that Pei Lin will take this opportunity to steal the limelight from the queen and suppress Ziyu?" ”

I laughed in my heart, in the heart of Emperor Qi Yan, the latter is the most crucial.

"Your Majesty, the concubine thinks that Mrs. Pei's willfulness is also based on loving Your Majesty, the concubine beat her before, and now the concubine's maid is on an equal footing with her, such blind suppression will only make her resentful of the concubine even more. It's better to let the concubine be a good person and give her a chance to exercise, maybe she will be grateful and live in harmony with the harem from now on? ”

"Will she be grateful?" Qi Yan shook his head and sneered: "The queen can't be so naïve, right?" There must be something else in mind! ”

"The concubine's little calculation has never escaped His Majesty's eyes." I continued to search for all sorts of arguments for my advice. "If Mrs. Pei really understands gratitude and integrates into the harem, then the concubine thinks that Mrs. Pei is still worthy of being called a lady, which is what His Majesty and the Queen Mother want to see the most."

Emperor Qi Yan pondered carefully, then turned his head and looked at me meaningfully, "What if Mrs. Pei is still the same as me?" ”

"As long as it doesn't intensify, isn't Your Majesty still able to accept it? Otherwise, how could they tolerate her continuing to sit in the position of lady? ”

Qi Yan frowned, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"The queen is making fun of Lonely."

"Your Majesty, the concubine has no such intention, she is wronged."

"Okay, Lone doesn't care about the queen's sarcasm, maybe as the queen said, if Pei Lin really did something out of the ordinary, then this lady's position, Lone really can't stay."

"What if you do a good job?"

"Isn't that what she should be?"

Emperor Qi Yan blurted out this response, although I have already learned this answer, I still feel that Emperor Qi Yan is a little affectionate.

"Your Majesty, the concubine wants to lie down for a while."

"Okay, then the queen has a good rest, and later, Lone will come again." Qi Yan kissed me on the forehead, smiled, and got up to leave.

Du Ruo and Cui Yun saluted and saw the emperor away, and then hurried in with small steps.

"Niangniang, we really heard it in Waimin just now, how can Niangniang recommend that Mrs. Pei be in charge of the harem, in that case, wouldn't Niangniang and Madame Zi be at a disadvantage?" Du Ruo reminded me with some complaints: "Now that you are pregnant, and Madame Zi has just entered the palace, if Madame Pei gains power, she still doesn't know how to practice us." ”

"Look at what you said, although Pei Lin is reckless, she is still afraid of the position of the queen of this palace after all. What's more, I had already had a heart-to-heart with Pei Lin before, but she just mistakenly believed someone's stupid tricks, so she just got into the way. ”

"Is Niangniang talking about Princess Ping?" Du Ruo was puzzled: "She is such a smart person, she shouldn't have such an idea." ”

"Of course it's not her, if it's her, how can she arrange the following bureau to invite you into the urn." I leaned on the head of the bed, took the water brought by Cuiyun and took a sip, "It's the help of Song Shu and the two beauties, this favor will have to be returned in the future." ”

Du Ruo looked at it in surprise, with a look of disbelief.

"What's wrong Du Ruo, why don't you seem to know this palace." I quipped, "Blame me for not telling you?" ”

Du Ruo shook his head, "That's not true, it's just that Du Ruo feels that Niangniang has changed and has become unpredictable." ”

"Can't guess?"

"Well, I can't guess what the mother is trying so hard for? Do you want to get rid of Mrs. Pei, or do you want to get rid of Ziyu? Or ...... Emperor!? ”

Saying this answer, Du Ruo couldn't help but look frightened, and carefully whispered: "Niangniang, Du Ruo's blind guess is not true." ”

I replied with a disappreciative smile: "Du Ruo, you think too much, what this palace wants is to let them compete with each other, and this palace is just taking advantage of the fisherman, not as terrifying as you think." ”

Du Ruo nodded in disbelief, and I asked myself in my heart: Yu Wenxuan, do you want to be a good person or a bad person?
